HIS LATE VISITOR.

The hour was late, but Roscoe Conkling sat in his room, at the Grand Pacific hotel, examining a pile of pa- pers that lay on s table ln front of him. Some one rnppcd on the door. Tine statesman frowDed, went to the door, opcncd 1t few inches, pccrei out and seeing man, said:
 "You must excuse me, sir"
 "Is this Mir. Conkling1" the man asked.
 "Yes, but you must excuse me-"
 w-"
 "Thats all right, but 1 haven't any . thing to say"
 "IIold on," said the man as Mir. Conkling attempted to shut the door. "You don't know who I am. You doubtless take me for reporter"
 "Yes," the statesman admitted.
 "Weii, Pm not. Pm robber and 1 want your money.'
 "A robberw exclaimed the great lawyer as smile broke out and ran all over his face. "Come iD," throw ing open the door. "You must par don my mistake"

IMPORTANT RULES.

Pasted over the desk of the city odi- tor of Georgia paper are the follow ing instructions;
 "All brides are lovely, beautiful and accomplished, except they be old and tough widows, and then they ar, auiable and cultivated.
 "All merchants who advertise are contemplating, wide-awake and credit to our city. Tine names of thoss who do not advertise must not appear In our paper.
 "All old lawyers are able and worthy of place on the supreme bench. Young lawyers are promising and sil- very -tongued.
 "Conductors on passenger trains arc gentlemanly and courteous.
 "Doctors arc eminent.
 "Farmers arc intelligent.
 "Candidntss who put their an- nounccments in our paper are gaining ground every day. Those who do not announce are likely t0 be defeated.
 "Under no circumstances must tbese rules bc broken. F. Meddlcton Pryor, editor and proprietor"

"E-e-e. Not in purtickler."
 "Then why do you come herc?"
 He glanced at Olivia, lodged and re- piled.
 "Told you jest erwhile ergo"
 But didn't understand you."
 Sim got up, stepped down of the porch, went behind corner of the house, peeped around and said:
 "E-e-e. Told you that want that gal"
 The next instant he had disp- peared. The father and daughter waited for him, but he did not return until two days later. He went through his usual performance in ap- preaching the house. sat down and after taking bite of his hat, which by this time showed strong symptoms of total annihilation, remarked:
 Broke CT colt yistidy. E-e-e."
 "You did2"
 "That's whut I lowed. E-e-e. You know my uncle Dan?"
 "I think not"
 "Fit him yistidy."
 "Mr. Trotter-I suppose they call you trotter because you trot around so-you have not given me time to re- ply to proposition which you made the other day. l hope you will be- lieve me when l say that l dislike very much to disappoint you or to wound your feelings, but that my daughter is not in a marrying humor.
 "Say she ain't1"
 "Yes, that's what I say"
 "E-e-e. I whipped Nose Bradley luther day"
 "I know that you are powerful man and l very much admire your numerous achievements, but my daughter is not ready to be married.'
 "I'll wait fur her"
 "She will never be ready to marry you, MT. Trotter."
 He went to the corner of tho house peeped around and said;
 Say she won't?"
 "That is what I said"
 "E-e-e."
 He dragged his feet across the yard rolled over the fence and slowly skulked down the road. He had not gone far when he stopped and began to gather up stones. Then, selecting q tree which seemed to represent some enemy which his mind he'd n view, he opened furious attack, closing by drawing his knife and rushing upon his enemy. Then, looking with mel ancholy pride at the bark he had knocked of, he shook his head snl lenly and disappeared behind the brow of the hill.

EARLY CONSIDERATION.

At the dinner table. Little gir (addressing little brotheD-"Tommy you musn't eat so much cake"

 Little girl-"No, sir; because don't want him to eat it all up, for want some."

During the first five days of July, according to statistics furnished by the coroner, there were fourteen mur- ders committed in Chicago. This wholesale slaughter is especially sad when we consider the fact that not one of these bloody deeds can be used for the purpose of political coloring. What waste; what blind extrava- gsnee; what inexcnssble prodigality of blood. The death of one negro in the south, just one lame, halt and blind negro would have accomplished higher and grander purpose. Must we acknowledge the truth of the Eng fish sheer that we are the most waste ful people in the world?
